H&R: When you want to get serious, H&R Sport Springs are the hot setup. These are our most popular springs - they lower your machine an average of 1.4" front/1.5" rear for improved handling, better aerodynamics and a simply outrageous look. Each spring is tuned for that elusive combination of shifter-kart handling and a controlled, yet comfortable ride (about 25-30% stiffer than stock).

Thank you for your response!
I was wondering if H&R springs offer anything lower then that, if not what are some other springs out there that will drop about 1.75 to 2.00???

I just bought sprint springs which list the lowering height for the IS 300 at 2" inches front and rear. They also boast that the ride quality remains relatively smooth for such a drop. I'm installing them tomorrow, I'll let you know how they are.

Hey guys,
Just installed the Sprint Springs on my IS yesterday. It is LOW!!!! There is no gap on the rear wheels and it sits just right on the front wheels. The biggest thing I noticed off the bat, is the cornering! What a difference! I'm gonna kill my shocks though, cause I haven't changed them. I'll probably have to change them next year. We'll see. As for now, the ride still feels really smooth, I think it's because the shocks are still new though. I got Sprint because they were the lowest springs I could find w/o having to pay twice the $$ for coilovers. I've seen other IS 300's lowered, and there is still a large wheel-gap on them. It is low!

Sorry, I don't have access to a digital camera or scanner at the moment. So no pics. But I can tell you that on the rear, the tire tucks under the fender (no gap at all) and at the front, the fender sits right on top of the tire. It looks really nice, I'm happy with it. The car gets a lot of looks, especially when it's parked, and I'll I've done was lowered it, and cleared out the bumper lights.
liljungnam, did you change your shocks at all?

My opinion i prefered the eibach, cuz drop 1 inch all around, H&R drop 1.5 inches all around the H&R looks nice but in P.R.the roads have a lot bumps ,so eibach springs works good for my IS300
